The one next to Google on the home screen? Im trying to achieve that. Its also hard from the system dump to do the google now launcher too without FC cause launcher 3 on n4 is preventing it and there is no clear defaults in that app
This is a Nexus 6 forum. I believe this may be the wrong place to put your question. That stated, could you post a screen shot of that which you seek? I'm sure someone could assist if you provided a bit more detail.

The folder named create next to the google now launcher circle icon. And sound search apk.
Nope, still no idea what the OP wants!
If you want to create a folder, just put one icon on top of the other and it creates one automatically - it's a standard Android thing
Still very confused. I don't see a sound search icon or a create button. I see a google folder a download manager icon play music and store. Is it somewhere else.

you realize you can litterally make the folder? you dont need an apk to make a folder....you just drop several apps from the app drower on top of each other on the homescreen and POOF! a folder has been created. as for the name, open up said folder, tap on the name, change it to "create" as you want to do, and you are done....such a weird request..
Use the pa stock gapps. It will create the folders you are looking for
This thread is ridiculous

it's simple... it's a standard folder called "Create" that includes all of the Google Drive apps (Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Keep)

Now that more and more themes are rolling out for the Fascinate I figured it would be time to start a Fascinate specific thread with screenshots of your layouts/themes. Ill start it off with something I finished last night. Will be changing it up probably every other day until I find something that is crazily perfect haha.

I'm sorry, I don't want to be That Guy, but how do you theme widgets like that?
The one thing that's been keeping me from using them is a lack of uniformity.

They're the pictures that I assigned to my Gmail contacts on my computer. They were taken with a 10mp camera.

Correct on the widgets, they were actually started by someone else but lynx took over at one point.
All your system apps will be in system/app and installed or market apps in data/app.
I will release a zip that will push any themed widgets to system/app.

Pretty basic. Just using Launcher Pro Plus for the most part. Linked off my FB until I get home and upload to FTP.
Is it possible to change icons? If so, how?
My phone is rooted, and using the stock rom it came with from Sprint.
Firmware: 2.1-update1

If you use launcher pro from the market as your launcher you can change the icons and the name too...
Long press on a blank space and add the app you want...tap on its picture to load your gallery and choose whatever icon you would like...there are plenty to download...

Download Desktop Visualizer from the Market. Allows you to put custom icon shortcuts anywhere on your desktop for just about anything. You can't change any of the taskbar or menu icons, but it does allow you to change/customize any icons you put on your desktop home screens.

Haha, thanks for the compliment! It really wasn't that hard to be honest. Just resize the png, rename it, and find where to put it. Once you figure out that you can open .apk files with 7zip, the rest is a cake walk!
The problem with most n00bs is that they don't want to get their hands dirty... and the laziness! Haha.
well i found many posts on people showing there backgrounds with downloads and stuff but they never explain how to install or use them. i was wondering if anyone know a post to re direct me to or website that could help me install them. or just tell me here if you feel like it.
(on the side note can the Zio even use animated backgrounds?)
ya, they are called live wallpapers and there is a whole mess of them on the market. As far as installing, they install the same way everything from the market does. When you want to use them click the "menu" and then "wallpaper" and choose "live wallpapers" from the list. Ther is also a website where you can surf these wall papers.

Ok im out with friends right now, and i think its gonna get late. But tomorrow ill see what i can do
Edit: i think u should remove the smart keyboard link, cause its paid. But im gonna pm it to u as soon as im done.
Edit2: I`ve looked at it and those r all *.9.png`s. To edit them i have to Decompile the apk and Recompile it. And i really have no idea how to compile signed market apps.

Yes, but that only works for .png if u do that with .9.png u mess it up completely. The only thing u could do with .9.png is to let them run through a specific script (read the name somwhere on the net but cant remember) and just change the rgb values. Besides that i never tried it and cant tell if it works, theres still the problem, that u couldnt just make blue outlines on the keys or fade the bg from black to blue.
If u've been able to do that, tell me how, coz i never got .9.png to work without compiling them in an app.

That's why I was so confused on why you guys were trying to modify the skin of the keyboard from the .apk. The actual application supports themes that makes it easier. It's like trying to reskin CM7 when there's a built-in theme manager. Just use the theme manager, it gets the job done easy and quick.

I have a simple question about the state of 'organization' with the Nexus 6 and it's lack of being able to re-arrange the App Drawer/Menu.
I want to be able to move Apps in the menu freely and place them in appropriate folders to neaten and make it easier to find specific items.
Does anyone know of any Apps/Roots which allow this for the Nexus 6?

Without going to a 3rd party launcher (which may be a valid solution for you, I'm not suggesting that you don't go that route), the included launcher is designed to do this by means of home-screens. You can "drag" application launchers from the "mess" onto the home screen. If you drag one into a place already occupied, they will join together into a directory, which you can name. Individual launchers or directories can be either tied to a home screen (meaning that you have to navigate to the specific page it is tied to in order to find it), OR tied to the home-button-bar (meaning that it will be visible regardless of what page you are on).
The rationale is that the main drawer "mess" is alphabetical. Makes it possible to find applications by name, rather than having to scan through a hierarchy for applications you don't commonly use that you may have forgotten how you organized.
